Reading a Binary file

[dude123]

Hi,
I have a binary file to read and I wanna do it in series 60 symbian device.
I m comfertable doing it in BREW where i create a file pointer and keep on reading the data.
But what is the procedure in Symbian?
Where am i suppose to keep my file? Y do i need a RFs session. How do i create its objects? I do i create an instance of TBUF and TBuf8?
Here is what i did

TBuf<50> Buffer_TB;
TDes8& Data_TD8 = (TDes8&)Buffer_TB;
RFs Session_RFs;
User::LeaveIfError(Session_RFs.Connect());
Session_RFs.MkDirAll(KDIR_NAME);

RFile LevelFile_RF;
User::LeaveIfError(LevelFile_RF.Open(Session_RFs,KFILE_NAME,EFileRead));

Session_RFs.Close();
LevelFile_RF.Close();


I dont even know if it is correct!!!
If somebody has done a binary file read pls help.....
I need it

Well i got the code to work and its storing the values properly. But i m stuck with a new problem.
RFile.Read reads into a TBuf object but i need to get this value into a TInt16.
Here is my code that is working

RFs Session_RFs;
User::LeaveIfError(Session_RFs.Connect());
Session_RFs.MkDirAll(KDIR_NAME);
RFile LevelFile_RF;
User::LeaveIfError(LevelFile_RF.Open(Session_RFs,KFILE_NAME,EFileRead));
TBuf8<1> Data_TB8;
LevelFile_RF.Read(Data_TB8);

TInt16 MapWidth_n16_m_ = Data_TB8.iBuf //this gives error

LevelFile_RF.Read(Data_TB8);

LevelFile_RF.Close();
Session_RFs.Close();

following are the error I am getting.

error C2248: 'iBuf' : cannot access protected member declared in class 'TBuf8<1>'
\Symbian\7.0s\Series60_v20\EPOC32\INCLUDE\e32des8.h(276) : see declaration of 'iBuf'
D:\SYMBIAN\7.0S\SERIES60_V20\SERIES60EX\PREDATOR\SRC\Tilemap.cpp
error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'unsigned char [4]' to 'signed char'
This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a C-style cast or function-style cast

I actually need to read 2 byte(one at a time) and then write it to 2 different TInt16 values and then OR those two TInt16 to get the actual value.
I can easily do it in C or C++ , but how do i do it in Symbian??
plzzzzzzzz help. M so close but still sooo far
